[Latest Chapter: Earthlings Are Too Fierce!]
Lu Siya moved closer to the wound and looked at it for a long time. Then, she turned her head around to look at the other two corpses and asked in puzzlement, "Are you sure that they were killed in one hit?"
"I'm 30% sure," Meng Chao said while gesturing.
"Based on the guesses on the forum, these biochemical pets were infected with mutated rabies or zombie viruses, which is why they went completely out of control.
"Let's say that they were infected with mutated rabies. Think about it. What sort of state would they be in?
"That's right. Their eyes would be bloodshot, and they would growl. They would bare their fangs and claws, and they would look monstrous. They would also subconsciously crash into walls and doors.
"If their masters saw this sort of pet, would they just stand there like idiots and let it bite them? Of course they would struggle, run, or fight. "
As Meng Chao spoke, he bared his fangs and looked like he was about to pounce on Lu Siya.
"When they struggle fiercely, the biochemical pets' central nervous systems will be seriously corroded. It won't be easy for them to accurately find their vitals. Even if they manage to bite their vitals and their masters struggle fiercely, their wounds will be torn apart, not cut. The wounds on their limbs should be even more severe, because in their panic, their masters will definitely use their hands to block the attacks and kick around."
Lu Siya nodded and looked pensive. "What if their masters fall asleep?"
"A few days ago, Blessed Paradise went through the descent of fog, and a rat horde erupted. Over the past few days, there are still rats running around the area. The citizens are very wary, so they wouldn't fall asleep so easily, right?"
"Even if the old man in his sixties and the woman in her forties aren't very energetic, the third victim was in the prime of his life. It's impossible for him to fall asleep so easily that he wouldn't even hear the roars of the beasts.
"But look at the throat of the third victim. Look at this precise cut."
Under Meng Chao's guidance, Lu Siya looked at it carefully.
She frowned and said, "This piece of flesh has been completely eaten."
"That's right. That's the main point."
Meng Chao snapped his fingers and said excitedly, "After they killed the victim in one hit, they realized that the cut was too precise, so they decided to eat the flesh around the wound, but they still left an opening. Look, there are fine scratches between the two cervical vertebrae. That's the mark left behind by the canine teeth!"
Lu Siya took off her sunglasses.
Her beautiful eyes were shining brightly in the morgue.
She narrowed her eyes and observed for a moment before nodding. "I see it. It's thinner than a strand of hair, less than half a millimeter long. This is also considered a scratch. So?"
"So, based on the depth, angle, length, and all sorts of other factors, this is definitely a perfect attack to kill in one hit!" Meng Chao said confidently.
"Can you really see so much from such a tiny, no, a tiny scratch?"
"Why can't I tell what's the difference between this scratch and the other scratches?"
"I can't tell what's the difference between the tens of thousands of rocks underground. That's why if I have to differentiate them, I'll choose to believe you," Meng Chao said.
Lu Siya thought about it, nodded, and said, "Continue."
"Then, there are the lacerations on the limbs," Meng Chao said.
"Even though there are a lot of lacerations on the limbs of the three corpses, the lacerations on the third corpse are the lightest. Many of the lacerations weren't done in one go, but overlapped with a lot of bite wounds. This means that when the third victim was still alive, his resistance was the weakest. At that time, his limbs were already powerless, and he didn't have the strength to struggle at all.
"He's a middle-aged man in the prime of his life, and he's a machine master who controls construction machines all year round. But when he ran into a monster, his resistance was not as great as that of an old man in his sixties and a middle-aged woman. Why is that? It's simple. The first attack on his carotid artery, spinal nerves, and cervical vertebrae caused him to lose a lot of blood. His nerves were damaged, and his limbs were naturally powerless, so he couldn't fight back effectively.
"Here's the exciting part. After it killed the third victim, the biochemical pet that seemed to have gone berserk seemed to have realized that it had killed the victims too cleanly and efficiently. So, it intentionally bit off the fatal wounds on the victims' necks and made the lacerations on their limbs look like a mess to cover it up. But this is what you call trying to cover up making things worse. There are slight differences between the wounds it left on the victims when they were alive and the wounds it left on the victims after they were dead. Normal people might not be able to tell, but it definitely won't escape my eyes!"
Lu Siya cast Meng Chao a deep glance and mumbled, "Are you saying that this is a biochemical pet that destroys evidence and disguises the crime scene?"
"I don't know whether it's a biochemical pet or something else. I only know what the corpses told me."
Meng Chao went to the open abdominal cavity of the corpses and continued. "Finally, look at the abdominal cavities of the three corpses. After they killed the victims, the three biochemical pets started feasting. Their first target was naturally the soft and fleshy organs. They messed up the victims' organs, but don't you think that the third victim's organs were even more shredded than before? It's already more than what they need to eat."
Lu Siya frowned a little. "More than what they need to eat? What do you mean?"
"Let's put it this way. If we want to eat a palm-sized steak, we will usually cut it into around twenty pieces. The smallest piece will be the size of a beef cube, but very few people will cut it hundreds of times and turn it into minced beef, right?"
Meng Chao said. "I've studied a lot of canine-type monsters' mouths, teeth, esophagus, and digestive organs. I know the best size for food for them.
"The first two biochemical pets might have gone mad, but the traces left behind after they ate their food didn't break the normal pattern for canine-type monsters.
"Only the third victim's abdominal cavity was torn to shreds, but there were too many organs left behind. They weren't eaten by the biochemical pets. This doesn't make sense."
Lu Siya sank into deep thought. "What do you think is the reason?"
"There are only three reasons I can think of."
Meng Chao extended three fingers and said, "First, this biochemical pet doesn't like eating organs. It's just imitating it. Right from the start, it seems like it's imitating the 'losing control' of the previous two biochemical pets. In truth, everything is under its precise control.
"Second, perhaps it has a deep grudge against its master, which is why it ate his master so much that he was torn to shreds. It's the same as what humans call cutting him into pieces.
"Third, this is a form of camouflage. Regardless of whether it's the limbs or the abdominal cavity, it can erase the real wounds on the missing flesh!"
As she listened to Meng Chao's lengthy explanation, Lu Siya could not hide the surprise and admiration in her eyes. She gasped in amazement and said, "Meng Chao, I'm finding that I don't understand you anymore, and I'm looking forward to working with you in the future."
Meng Chao coughed dryly and said, "What I said is just my opinion. I don't have concrete evidence. The specialists from the other organizations can come up with three or four completely different conclusions based on the same trace. Before I find out the truth, I can't prove that my guess is correct."
"It's fine, I believe you," Lu Siya said.
"I can tell you three things. First, the three biochemical pets who went out of control were indeed infected with mutated rabies, and they're all new subtypes that have never been seen before.
"Second, the biochemical pets that attacked the first two victims have incredibly well-hidden traces of injection in their ear canals. The third biochemical pet also has the virus in its body, but there are no traces of injection in its ear canals.
"Third, the victim who was killed in one hit is an employee of Heavenly Works Machines. The company he works for is fighting against Spirit Creations Creatures, the company that modifies biochemical pets. Recently, they have been fighting for an incredibly important deal. The profit involved is astronomical, and it's enough to make many people go mad."
Meng Chao was slightly stunned.
Lu Siya was truly resourceful. It was such a secret, and in just one day, she had already learned about it.
Also, the mutated rabies that the three biochemical pets were infected with was a new subtype? This was something he did not know yesterday.
As he thought about it, Kindling shone at the corner of his eyes, and a notification appeared.
[Mystery of the Supernatural Entities. Increased progress by 1%. Current progress: 2%. Increased contribution points by 500.]
'I guessed right!'
Meng Chao's spirits lifted. The case of the murderous pets in Blessed Paradise was indeed related to the Supernatural Entities!
"It's about time. If you have anything to say, let's talk while we walk."
Lu Siya tapped her watch and said, "You're right. This matter is indeed worth investigating. If that's the case, we have to race against time and find the truth before the adjudicator court."
Meng Chao hesitated for a moment before he said, "Can't we tell the adjudicator court about the clues and work together with the secret police?"
"The adjudicator court has always been displeased with the establishment of the abnormal beast research department. They believe that it has weakened their authority, so there's no way they will work with us."
Lu Siya cast Meng Chao a glance. "As for you, the adjudicator court will definitely welcome you if you provide clues, but who knows how much they will believe in you? It's even more impossible for a university student like you to participate in this. "
Meng Chao's mind raced, and he found that Lu Siya's words made sense.
If it were a normal case, he would have done his duty as a good citizen if he provided clues to the police, the adjudicator court, or the abnormal beast research department.
But since it was related to the Supernatural Entities, he still wanted to get closer to the truth.
After all, in this era, there might be no one who understood the Supernatural Entities better than him.
"Let's go."
Lu Siya observed his expression and saw his determination. She pulled the white cloth over the three corpses and quickly walked out. "We don't have a lot of time left. There are ruthless people in the secret police as well. They can discover clues at any moment and get ahead of us."
Meng Chao followed her and asked, "Is that so?"
"Yes."
While Lu Siya walked, she said, "I heard that when we dissected the three biochemical pets yesterday, we mobilized the experts from the secret police to find the needle hole in the deepest part of the biochemical pets' ear canals.
"The person who presided over the dissection yesterday was Master Sun Yufeng, a veteran harvester from the monster research center. Even he neglected the details of the deepest part of the ear canals, which is near the eardrum. The other harvesters have never heard of such a secretive method.
"In the end, a very young expert who seems to be from the secret police exposed the truth with just one sentence.
"He even knows such a cunning method. There's a high chance that he has personally used this method before. He's not a harvester. He's practically a top-class assassin. Such a ruthless person might become our competitor. We don't even know who will end up as the victor yet!"
Meng Chao said, "Um …"
